Adjusting Cut of Frequency

[Vallenato]

The Cut of Frequency setting in My subwoofer shall be at the same Cut Frequency setting on my Receiver ?..Example. IF I Put 80 hz on my Receiver I need to put 80 hz on my Subwoofer or this is variable depending my requirement of Bass. What You recommend to me for adjust Both Frequency settings?
thanks in advance

You only set the cut on your receiver. You turn the cut on the subwoofer off or to it's highest frequency.

By adjusting the setting on both, the AVR and sub, you are doubling up the filters and it will change the sound of the setup.

+1 what Lsiberian said. Just use the AVR setting, it makes life much easier.

When I tried to turn down the crossover frequency(to 50 hz) the sound of bass is minumun and when I turn to highest(200 hz) is Maximum and not clear. I do not but I am hearing good bass sound when I set the knob on the Middle.
thanks everybody

Ultimately, you want to set it wherever it makes you happy - like what you've done. The others are correct, though, regarding not having interaction between the two frequency filters. After setting the crossover on the receiver to 80 Hz and then setting the crossover on the sub to 200 Hz, did you calibrate the system levels (or run an auto set-up if your receiver has one)? That might be the key. The sub might be set at too high of an output. Another possibility is that your room is causing an increase in volume at the frequencies around that cut-off of 80 Hz, and your adjustment of the subwoofer filter is helping to tame that.

Just some thoughts.
